TinyApps.org - Large directory of small applications
TinyApps.org is a simple directory filled with hundreds, if not thousands of unique, small, and hard to find applications. As the name says, Tinyapps.org only contains software with a small footprint and is less than 1.44mb in size. For any of you over the age of say 25, you’ll remember that 1.44mb is the size of the small hard cased floppy disks. Those floppy disks are now largely obsolete, but I like that they kept that criteria as it fits the circa 1994 design of the site.
Other requirements of applications listed in the directory are they must be Freeware or OpenSource and not malice or adware. There are a few shareware applications, but they only offer them if there isn’t a freeware version available.
A few key applications that I use on a daily or semi-daily basis are:
JR Screen Ruler - an on screen pixel ruler that lets you measure objects on your screen.
CamStudio - an open source screencast software we used to create our demo video for Addoursearch.com.
The directory is primarily for Windows applications, but they do have 2 pages for Mac OSX and Palm. Being primarily a mac user, I know how hard it is to find good Mac applications that you can trust and are well built. So I do wish they would have a few more applications for Mac… but, it’s a good start.
